Wake Football Spring practice updates

Up to 6 -110 either way on DK now. If could've won both ways on a 6-6 season mighta risked the Covid to drive down to NJ and bet both sides
 
I'm not a gambler at all but what does the -100 mean after Wakes win total of 5 mean?
Wake Forest Demon Deacons 5 -110 5 -110

A minus sign before a number greater than 100 (like -110) means the amount of money that you must bet to win $100. So, if the money line is WF Over 5 wins -110 and if a bettor bets $110 on WF to go over 5 wins, and WF wins 6 or more games, that bettor receives $210 (his $110 bet back plus $100 of winnings).

A plus sign before a number greater than 100 (like +120) means that amount of money that you win if you bet $100. So, if a bettor bets $100 on Duke to go under 5.5 wins and the line is Duke Under 5.5 +120, and Duke wins 5 or less games, that bettor receives $220 (his $100 bet back plus $120 of winnings).

You don't have to bet in $100 increments. The house will make the money line calculation regardless of how small (you could bet $11 to win 10) or how large (you could bet $1100 to $1000) the bet is.

Got it, thanks.
 
But has since issued a mea culpa":

“Looking back, now that we’ve taken some bets, we missed on Wake,” Caesars sportsbooks director of trading Jeff Davis told Covers. “The power ranking was probably off by 2 or 3 points. We opened 7 (Over -165), now we’re at 6.5 (Under -120). We also opened North Carolina State 4.5 (Over -145), and it’s now 5 (Over -115). That being said, N.C. State was more intentional than Wake.”
 
Just listened to Doug Kezarian's Daily Wager Podcast, and this week's topic was early win total picks in CFB. On the podcast, Kezarian hosted Preston Johnson (the Sports Cheetah and the guy with the beard on ESPN's Daily Wager program) and the Bear. Both Johnson and the Bear picked the under 7 (or 6.5) win total for WF. A lot of emphasis on the loss of Newman and "other playmakers" on offense. They also made much of WF's schedule with a definite loss to Clemson, a probable loss to ND, and then tough games at L'ville, at NC State and at Duke, plus Miami at home.

Understand the schedule piece, but with Walker, Greene and Surratt, not many teams have a better set of returning playmakers.

FWIW, other "best bets" were:

Ok State and the mullet Over 8.5 wins
Cal Bears Over 7 wins
Purdue Over 6 wins
Northwestern Under 5 wins
UNC Over 7 (7.5) wins

and for Biff, UGA to win the SEC.

Naturally, all of the above assumes a full regular season schedule is played.

Not sure I'd call NC State or Duke "tough." Both loseable for sure, but for those to be two of our ACC road games is favorable

Yeah of the games listed I expect wins against Duke and NC State, Miami is a toss up, and Clemson and ND are probable Ls.
